lemonis: $5.perceived value difference between plain one and this, it's got to be $15 or $20. flex's watches used to cost them $5 to make, and they would sell them for $35. licensing printed village designs will cost as additional $5, bringing the total to $10. but it will also boost the perceived value of the watch, allowing us to raise the price of the watch by as much as $20. so that $5 investment will end up yielding the company an additional $15 in gross profit. trevor: all right. like this. i like that it's different. i think the skull thing is kind of fun. brad: i don't think skulls and the edginess and the darkness -- i-i'm not a fan of it. just don't like the skulls. travis: it's a "no" for me. brad: no. trevor: i still like it. brad: how does that have to do anything with who we are? trevor: well, people love halloween, though. i could argue that this is a fun thing to launch in october. travis: in october. you lost your mom to breast cancer, so i don't think we want to push skulls. trev
